Epsilon: There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero... never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith.

Be hipster, become the change you want to see, tape bread to your head because you love FREEDOM SO DANG MUCH and NOBODY AIN'T GONNA TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE BOI! GO OUT INTO THE WORLD MY FRIEND, AND REMEMBER! Mainstreeming IS FO DA NOOBS!!

Just be shamelessly into whatever you're into and don't worry about whether it's mainstream or "hipster" which is basically meaningless anymore as all the formerly denoted "hipster" trends are pretty much mainstream now anyway.

Why did the hipster burn his tongue?||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm sitting in Starbucks, and I overheard a guy say to another "are you familiar with..." and all I could think was FVCKING hipsters. Then I realized I'm wearing hipster glasses, skinny "boyfriend" jeans, oxfords, and sipping on a vanilla green tea latte whilst eating my muffin upside down. AND THINKING WORDS LIKE "WHILST".

I will have you know, thinking in awesome and colorful words is not being a hipster. It's being awesome.

Subtract the glasses, add some uggs, and voila! you are a sorority girl!

Now subtract the uggs, add some doc marten boots, and a spikey leather jacket, and voila! you are a punk.

Now subtract the uggs, subtract the leather jacket, subtract the skinny "boyfriend" jeans, add a silly hat, and voila! you are shoeless and pantsless wearing a silly hat! GTFO out of our establishment you wacky bag-lady!!!

Anyway, to the OP, again, the point is, it's all dumb high school sh!t. Just focus on 1.) shamelessly liking what you genuinely like and 2.) not giving a f*ck whether other people think highly of what you like.

No, just someone with horrible tastes in shoes.

That is only one kind of punk. Punk isn't simply Sid and Nancy gear. Devo was the original punk band. Blondie was punk. Punk is many things, and is beyond such trivial classifications.

Now subtract the uggs, subtract the leather jacket, subtract the skinny "boyfriend" jeans, add a silly hat, and voila! you are shoeless and pantsless wearing a silly hat! GTFO out of our establishment you wacky bag-lady!!!

Yeah, but add the shoes back in and you are not violating the "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rule.

Hipsters are posers. They like things because it is cool at the moment to like those things, but they lack any and all real passion for the actual thing they purport to like.

They f*cking suck, and they have since before they were called hipsters.

I really hope you're being ironic.

Soooo...... basically most people all the time are hipsters. Noted.

Don't become one.

Kinda, kinda not. There are hip people in all generations, and there are posers in all generations (these are more common).

For instance, I have a friend who worked at a foundry. Now, I could give a sh!t about how this stuff works normally, but he's my friend, and so we began talking about it, and as I kept asking questions (because I had no f*cking clue what he was talking about as we progressed), he kept getting more and more excited and kept explaining everything to me in this excited fashion.

For him, foundry work was cool. And, after his explanations and stories, foundry work was cool to me as well.

Really, though, nothing is cool. What makes a thing cool is the interest level and love someone feels for it.

I personally love punk music, and I love it primarily for the variety of styles included therein, so when you classified one type of dress as "punk", I decided to note that this was not necessarily the case (though I also realized the topic at hand, so yes, there was a bit of irony mixed in, if only because there had to be)

Hipsters are posers. They like things because it is cool at the moment to like those things, but they lack any and all real passion for the actual thing they purport to like.

Unfortunately, yes. Most people are unoriginal lemmings who become enthralled with something because it is the flavor of the month and then quickly lose interest in it.

You can see this in how most people consume the news. They are outraged over the latest sensationalistic story that is reported by most news outlets (the Connecticut school shooting, for example) and then forget about it a few days later when the news coverage dies down (like the Connecticut school shooting).

People are mostly uncreative, unoriginal and stupid. Unfortunately, they also are genetically programmed to want acceptance.

Thus, the hipster.

(PPS - I also have what most people would call an unhealthy obsession with Freddie Prinze, Jr.)

Well, it was brought up more to point out the shallow, meaningless, and often wrong interpretations of a person's core values, modus operandi, or the subculture they identify with based on a few key clothing items. Actually, if you had asked me about 5 to 12 years ago which subculture I most identify with, I probably would have said the punk subculture... which is more of a counterculture... but whatever. So I understand the nerdy defensiveness.

Hipsters are posers. They like things because it is cool at the moment to like those things, but they lack any and all real passion for the actual thing they purport to like.
